The 5 contributions that everyone should know about the metaverse

The concept of metaverse emerged several decades ago, and until not long ago, it was only used for futuristic approaches to science fiction and cyberpunk, however, when Meta, parent of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp officially announced its millionaire investment in technology to make this interconnected digital space, everything has become very real.

In that regard, many companies have been working and making significant investments to carry out the meta-verse, which, according to Mark Zuckerberg, will change the Internet as we know it today and will be a revolution that will bring about a new digital age.

Although the construction of the metaverse is very early and still under development, the new opportunities and fundamental aspects of it can already be seen. According to the consulting firm Trust Corporative, the following aspects can be exploited by all people.

Although it remains an ambitious project, it is undeniable that technology companies need experts to carry it out. If from now on the demand for professionals is high, when it is a stable platform that allows everyone to have a second digital life through their avatar, it will be greater, especially in the development of digital ecosystems, programmers, hardware engineers, 3D and video game developers, product managers, specialists in marketing, cybersecurity experts and others.

Technology has proven necessary, so investments in the area have not been lacking. For example, from the Fortune 500 list, at least 120 companies are tech companies.

In the case of the metaverse, it is not necessary to go very far, it is enough to see how successful cryptocurrencies and tokenization have been, in addition to the fact that new sectors have been opened to the metaverse, one of them is real estate. Although it seems hard to believe, land is already being sold in the metaverse.

Without a doubt, companies see this interconnected space as a great opportunity, since there will be all kinds of businesses. From shops to buy official artists' items, to stadiums to go to concerts.

Hand in hand with business are entertainment opportunities, because of course, perhaps it would not be enough to enter the digital world with an avatar, but to spend time there with friends at a concert or games room.

“The entire entertainment area such as concerts, films and series, even art galleries, will be very popular in the metaverse. This is thanks to the immersive experiences provided by new technologies that have been reflected in massive virtual concerts with artists such as Justin Bieber, Travis Scott and The Chainsmokers, which attracted thousands of users around the world,” said Jamez Hernandez, president and co-founder of Trust Corporate.

During the pandemic, the whole world had to stay at home, having the Internet and electronic devices as allies to continue working, studying, seeing friends, family, entertaining and more, that is, in interconnection. This is expected to grow exponentially with the metaverse, where other opportunities can be explored.

In the metaverse everyone will need an avatar, whether or not it is similar to them in real life, there will be no other way to digitally interact with others, which will bring with it new experiences. For example, sexual relations are thought to be revolutionary in this space. In the same way, other opportunities can be explored in other areas.
